THE SUPREME COURT VACANCY.

An editorial taken from the New York
Herald gives the history and present status
of constitutional complication depend
emit on the composition of the supreme
court of the United States. 1t is an ex-
ceedingly interesting editorial, and shows
that even a graver responsibility than
usual, in the appointment of a supreme
justice, now rests upon President Cleve-
land. Fortunately, the locality from which
the judge according to precedent is to be
chosen, is a good general guarantee that a
states rights man will be selected. But
the present issue makes it still more i'm
perative upon Cleveland to search ont the
best and most conservative judicial talent
in the south, that the determination of
this vital state question may be placed in
the ablest keeping. A politician and a
statesman are not now needed; the ap-
pointee to fill Justice Woods place must
be judge of recognized standing and
views. Such a man is
Texas Chief Justice A. II. Willie. He
should have the vacant seat upon the bench
OF the worlds greatest court.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1887-08-04

rights and privileges after all is Mr.. John
Sherman willing to leave 20 the south? Is
he willing to stop with having representa-
tives to congress chosen according to
his taste, or,when he goes further and gets
his state legislatures correctly elected, will
he be satisfied when they have selected
republican United States senators? Or
will he not demand that congress take
hold of these refractory legislatures when
they dare pass a measure inimical to the
republican party, or, what amounts to
the same thing, hostile to John Sherman.
Yet, this is man now posing before the
country as one of the two republicans who
will, in all probability, receive the nomi-
nation for president. Truly he would, in
that capacity, inaugurate reign not of
republican government but of cen.
tralization that would end in absolute
monarchy. Fortunately for the country,
there are few John Shermans, and their
hurtful influence is circumscribed by the
strong American common sense and love
of freedom that is abroad in the land.

ideas of Young rather than in originating
and experimenting with plans of his own.
Like Young, he detied the United States
government, but unlike Young, he did not
stand his ground and assume responsible
ity for his conduct. For the past two
years Taylor was fugitive from Justice.
His haunts or hiding places were not Pub
licly known. Officers of the law could
not reach him, and he was as
dead to the general public. But in
Utah he was more potent as
fugitive than as mere citizen at peace
with the state. He was looked upon as a
martyr, as victim of persecution by an
"ungodly" government, as a sufferer for
the sacred cause of revealed religion
At every important meeting Of the church
manifesto from the fugitive prophet was
read, and these documents were awe in
spring and convincing to the faithful.
John Taylor bore the reputation of an
honest man. When Joseph Smith died the
MorDons we're so poor that the cupidity
of the first prophet could not be fairly
tested. Brigham Young divided about
$3O00,000 among his numerous offsprings;
and yet such is the credulity of the Nor
mon masses that his hon esty has never
been questioned by them. John Taylor
was poor all his life. He gathered the
tithes relentlessly from his followers, but
turned every dollar into the church
treasury.
Prophet Taylor's death will not seriously
affect the present order of things in Utah.
The organization of the church is perfect.
The Mormons are organized into bands of
seventy under charge of petty president.
Then comes wards under bishop. Next
comes "stakes of Zion," under an elder,
and then the twelve apostles who form the
cabinet of the "frst president" prophet
or chief apostle. 1t will be some months
before Taylor's successor is selected. The
Mormons are addicted to red tape. Only
one of the twelve apostles is eligible, and
Joseph HI. Smith, nephew of the "martyr
of Nauvoo," and George Q. Cannon are
the most likely candidates. Cannon is the
ablest man in the Mormon church. He ives
delegate to congress for several terms, is
good speaker and plausible reasoner.
He is also fugitive from justice, and
shared Taylor's hiding place. This will
work to his advantage, if he is ambitious,
as he doubtless is, to be a Mormon ruler.
The twelve apostles select the first presi-
dent.
Although John Taylors death will not
be felt in the outside world, in Utah it
will be mourned as sincerely as the loyal
north mourned the death of Lincoln. He
was not only considered the seer and
prophet, but the father of his people.
Receiving the implicit obedience of more
human beings than any other one man in
the United States, outside of his natural
traits he was picturesque character. A
little Mahomet in his way, something of a
pope in his functions, bishop by right
of his headship of a church, ruler of
men and women by sufferance, there was
nothing like him in the United States.
In guiding the Mormons he trod beaten
path: he never could have led his people
across the desert, established state and
founded sect. He was not an American, q.
and there was but little in his life that
Americans might emulate.

OHIO REPUBLICANISM.

The Ohio republican platform, as re-
CARDS its tariff features, is the same batch
of sophistries usually dished up by that
party for the deception of the laboring
classes. It's antithesis to the democratic
platform of Ohio is sharp and well-de-
fined. 1t is the old story. The republi-
can party of Ohio, like that of New
England and the entire country, is-as it
has always been-the tool and instrument
of the manufacturers to perpetuate that
vast steal and infamous and prodigious
robbery of the agricultural classes, known
as high protective tariff The Ohio repu5li-
can plank says it is Gin favor of
protective tariff to secure to American
citizens the privilege of supplying every
article which can be produced as we'll in
the United States as in other countries"
Translated into English the plain mean
ing is, that in order to keep up the manu-
facturers of New England, already rolling
in wealth gathered from robbery of the
farmers, we are forbidden to go to the
cheapest market to buy. Consequently,
we are forced to pay one dollar for peck
ct knife, which, under free trade, would
cost US only fifty cents; and so of other
things. The indirect tax that comes out of
the pockets of the people in this way
averaging 3315 to 60, and, in some cases,
100 per cent. Here is the beauty of 1t.
This tax-which if collected directly from
us right here in Austin would cause fear
full indignation-does not all go to support
the government. A very large proportion
goes, as intimated by the Ohio republicans,
simply to enrich, support and build up
the manufacturing nabobs of New Eng
land and the middle states.
Every dollar wrupg from the people of
the south and west in this manner is simply
robbery. 1t is stealing. We hope to see
the day when, through the democratic
party, this great wrong shall be crushed
out, and we shall be indirectly taxed
for "revenue only" not to support the
in their splendid style, And
later, upon the extinction of the national
debt, we can then bring down this tax to
q free trade basis.

HOLY KANSAS.

The invitation presented President
Cleveland, by the Kansas City delegation
yesterday, in book form, contained on the
back allegorical figures representing the
states of Kansas, Missouri, Texas, Colo
RADIO and Indian Territory. We do not
object to being mentioned to President
Cleveland, but we do object and protest
against being mentioned in company with
such state as Kansas, where ex-Con-
federates are not allowed to vote, and
which is the home of the modern Amazon,
the fanatic and the crank. We don't
want to be caught in the company of
Kansas, even after dark.

GEN. BOULANGER'S CHALLENGE.

M. Ferry is about to decline Gen. Bou-
langers challenge for duel, sent him by
reason of M. Ferry's severe criticism of
the general in recent stump speech.
The friends of the distinguished French
statesman and politician claim that one
politician has a right to criticise another.
They, however, seem to forget that in
France, as in America, vituperation on
the stump has its limits, the boundary
being where the dissection of a political
opponents public record or aspirations
merges into an unwarranted invasion of
his personal and privatelife.
1t is easy to see that, whether NJ. Ferry
has passed the line of demarcation or not,
his declination, among such a people as
the French, means a wild hurrah for
Boulanger, and still further increase of
his popularity.

John TAYLOR.
From the Missouri Republican.

| From the Missouri Republican. = Es
The death of John Taylor, the Mormon
seer, prophet and "first president" will
not be likely to attract much attention in
| the great world, but in the territory of
Utah it is most momentous event. In
feudal times no king, no margrave, no
lord of manor, no chief, no prince, pre-
late or head of sept had as much power
as John Taylor welded over his Mormon
followers in this age of progress in the
heart of this nation of democrats. John
Taylor was both king and pope of Utah.
There we're rebels in his dominion, of
course, but in these days no potentate can
claim immunity from rebels. If John
Taylor had his gentiles, Alexander III. has
his nihilists, the venerable kaiser has his
socialists, the good Victoria has
her fenians, and even Uncle Sam
himself has his anarchists. John TAYLOR
was not born to rule men, but he ruled
them. The insignia of "divine right"
was not emblazoned on his escutcheon,
but no Bourbon king, or German mar
grave, or Celtic chief, or Russian car
ever directed the destinies of his people
as absolutely, as fearlessly, as success
fully as John Taylor ruled the great ma
jority of the people of Utah. Not by any
means as great a man physically or men
tally as Brigham Young, not possessed of
the indomitable courage and perseverance
of Brigham Young, failing in Brigham
Young's power to overcome difficulties or
overawe opposition, John Taylor was
still, in many respects, more successful
than Young in winning obedience, con-
ciliating opponents and massing the re-
sources subject to his disposition.
John Taylor was by no means great
man; yet, he was successful man. OF
humble origin and the beneficiary of ONLY
moderate education, he became the
leader of religious sect, and was as much
respected by his followers as Christ, while
on earth, was by his followers. The third
of the Mormon chiefs, he fell short of the
attachments of his two predecessors In
some respects and excelled them in others.
Joseph Smith, the first Mormon prophet,
excelled in audacity of conception. Brig
ham Young, the second of the Mormon
chiefs, in holiness of execution, in tenac-
ity of purpose, in superiority of will
power, never had an equal in this conn
try, in or out of Mormondom. John Tsy-
lor, the third ruler of the Latter Day
Saints, governed with gentleness where
Brigham Young was wont to use force,
and rallied the faithful to the defense
of doctrine by argument and reason,
where Joseph Smith was wont to appeal
to blind prejudice and unreasoning pas
sion. Brigham Young was the most sue
cessful of the Norman chiefs. He sue
ceeded in winning the appointment of
governor of Utah from the federal govern
ment, and during his first presidency of
the church fully 100000 converts were
added to the Mormon creed. John Taylor
contented himself with carrying out the

The Ohio republican campaign plat
form adopted yesterday is the
double distilled essence of the bloody
shirtism of all previous campaigns.
It is full of the bitterness of
defeat, and sounds like the expiring effort
of the republican party to regain its lost
power. 1t is more than this. The rebel
flag plank appears to have some timber
in its make up, which itself smacks of
rebellion, and is an outspoken menace to
the presidency now filled by democrat,
which the people of this country would do
well to note and rebuke.

REPUBLICANS GOING BACK ON THEIR
LAND STEALING POLICY

During the administrations of Grant,
Hayes and Arthur, the western public
lands we're by the wholesale fraudulently
farmed out to corporations, and wrung
from the actual settler without leave or
compensation. Cleveland has taken hold
of and throttled this class of stealing from
the government, and his prompt and
authoritative interference in the interest
of the injured actual settler has kin
died the admiration of the union,
and won for him golden plaudits
from the settlers of the west. Republi-
cans have watched this action and it's re-
suits with green-eyed jealousy, and the
Ohio republican platform has in it one re-
suit of their anxiety and desire to tack to-
wards popular favor. The plank reads
as follows: Public lands of the United
States should be sacredly held for the use
and benefit Of actual settlers alone, and
laws preventing ownership of these lands
by corporations and nonresident aliens
should be Iigidly enforced" Well, it is
good cause, and in the interest of the
cause democrats will not object to en-
dorsemerts by the republicans of the good
work they have begun and are rapidly
completing. Cleveend's administration,
in this respect, has been a revelation to
republicans.

BRISK BUSINESS IN FORT WORTH.

A special telegram from Fort Worth
the day after the big anti-prohibition
demonstration there, said: "The thou

left the city yet, and the business men are
driving heavy trade. Retail merchants
say they haye done the heaviest business
to-day ever known in Fort Worth" That
last sentence will be the report that will

services next May. Austin business men

NAILED TO THE COUNTER.

AS will be seen in our local columns,
the canard published in this city few
days ago of the whipping of three colored
prohibitionists by crowd of anti-pro-
hibitionists, in Bastrop county last week,
has turned out most wicked and in
famous invention. How or where it origi-
mated, or came to be published in pro-
hibition print of this city, is not known.
1t is one of the secrets of this remarkable
campaign. But this much is known: It
is one of the most brazeA faced false
hoods ever started in any canvass. This
is shown in the dispatch published this
morning over the signature of the county
judge of BastrOp county, whose word will
not be gainsaid or denied. No doubt it
was meant to stir up the colored voters of
Travis county against the ants. The
result will be to rally our colored citizens
around the anti standard and damage the
very cause it was meant to serve. This
prohibitionist canard was libel on the
good people of Bastrop county. They
will remember it.

In Favor of Austin.
FORT WORTH, July 20, 1887

To the Editor Of the Statesman
Since the grand anti celebration" the
principal topic of conversation has been
'the proposed big drill at Austin and the
dedication of our new capitol building"

Worth, are IN high spirits, and propose to
begin drilling Immediately for the same.

men, and Fort Worth will back them for
first place against any company in the

grand affair, and the whole of Texas
will participate.

SHERMAN STILL AFTER THE SOUTH.

The fine Italian hand of John Sherman
is seen in the fourth plank of the Ohio
republican platform. That plank reads
as follows:
I'VE have placed the war with its hates
and revenges behind us, but the settle
ments of the war must stand irrevocable
respected, honored and observed in every
part of the republic. More, we have never
demanded; less we will not have. Con-
gress should exercise its constitutional
authority, and take the control and super
vision of the elections of representatives
to congress"
This republican statesman wants the
solid south broken, and he wants re
than that. He wants to press down upon
the south every measure possible that is
restrictive of states independence, that
is subversive of states rights. Waving the
bloody shirt and trying to delude himself
into believing that alone in the south are
INDUCED political bulldozing tricks, in
timidation of voters, illegal voting and
false ballot counting, he would have con-
gress express an especial and paternal
interest in the elections of the south. "and
take control and supervision of the cleo
tions of representatives to congress" Why
not go further and see that the
legislatures of the southern states,
that elect the United States senators,
are fairly and according to the
laws of congress, chosen! What

GOVERNOR MARTIN and the Kansas saints
are at it again. These saints, full of love to
their fellowman, perfectly honest yet
want to increase the value of their cattle
by shutting out Texas cattle. Read the
action of the live stock sanitary COM
mission in the dispatches. That the al
legged Texas cattle fever is as destructive
in Kansas as Governor Martin and the
rest of them say it is, cannot be accepted
as the truth without confederation from
disinterested sources. Looks like job
put up by the cold water saints to help
themselves by iniuring their neighbors.
